Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina was deeply affected when she confirmed that her husband, Gael Monfils, had been forced to withdraw from the Madrid Open due to health issues. During an emotional interview, Svitolina was overcome with tears as she revealed that Monfils would also miss the Rome Masters because his condition had not yet improved sufficiently.

“I’m very sad to say that Gael won’t be able to compete in the Madrid Open due to his health, and the situation is even more complicated than we thought,” said a visibly emotional Svitolina. “He’s struggling with health issues, but he’s receiving adequate medical care, and although his condition remains delicate, there’s some progress. However, he’s not yet fit to compete in the Rome Masters,” she added.

Svitolina expressed that her husband’s health is the most important thing right now, and that her family is focused on his recovery. “What we want most is for Gael to make a full recovery. We know it won’t be easy, but we’re optimistic that he’ll get better with time,” she commented.

The news of Monfils’s absence has not only caused deep sadness for Svitolina, but also for tennis fans, who are deeply affected by the situation. The pair had been an example of mutual support on and off the court, and this unexpected absence has left many fans concerned.

“We’re going through difficult times, but we hope everyone understands the situation and continues to support us,” Svitolina said with a hopeful tone. “We don’t want anyone to worry too much. Gael is improving and will come back stronger in time,” she added, seeking to ease the concerns of fans following his career.

In short, although Gael Monfils’ situation remains uncertain, Elina Svitolina remains hopeful that her husband will recover soon and be able to return to tennis competitions in the near future.
